Default plans for acoustic computer enclosure?

It's a desktop computer for video editing.

Silly me, I thought if I posted to the woodworking forum, someone would
suggest a solution that would use one of those tools with a round wheel with
sharp teeth, um, I think they are called table saws. My apologies for the
technical jargon. Perhaps if I post this question to a computer forum they
will provide plans for a 3/4" birch plywood enclosure. I'll let you guys
get back to whatever it is you discuss on this forum. Certainly can't be
woodworking.

You didn't specify the usage of the machine before, now I know why you need
all that local.

But the box can still be located elsewhere, there are IP based remote
solutions, have you researched the option? Even extending the keyboard,
video and mouse cables may allow you to get it around a corner or
something to cut the noise.

Building a box that will absorb sound and provide the cooling
requirements for a computer like that is non-trivial.
